A: I thought U wanted to wait Robert , she said looking at him .
R: it's just I don't know if I can stand seeing U with him like nothing happens and hearing U talk to him without even knowing what happened I need U to tell me the truth all of it everything
A: okay but before I want to give U this , she said showing her a small bag
R: did U buy me a gift ? It's not a pregnancy test ?
A: no it's not a pregnancy test but open it please
He was a little bit nervous about what it could be he took of the wrapping paper and he saw a little ring box he opened it and he saw ring he just looked at Andy confused but his eyes sparkled .
R:why a ring ? He asked
A:I bought U a wedding ring babe I bought it with Marie while we went on our walk , U don't wear one I don't either so I bought U one
R:baby I thought U didn't wanted ring ! I would've bought U one if I knew you wanted one

R: of course I am Andy of course I am it's beautiful thank U , he said hugging her
A: So about jack are U ready?
R : yeah let me just get changed before okay
He got into comfy clothes some grey sweatpants and a white tight shirt .
R: So what happened Andy?
A: look I asked dean for the keys to his house boat in case jack wasn't there when I was a the door I stayed there 15 minutes I couldn't make myself knock on the door but I had to do it I needed my stuff I live with U now, so I knock no one came so I knocked again and there he was answering the door and at that moment the only thing I wanted to do was to leave I was feeling myself panic just being around him but he let me come inside and he showed me where my stuff was before I left I went to see deans girl cause U know she's family ( Sullivan smiled ) but when I got in the living room I saw a girl with a clipboard in her hands taking note jack was having therapy so he talked with her even though I was there and he said things I never thought I would hear from him U know and then the therapist asked me if I wanted to say something and I told her I was fine and then Gibson asked me to thing about if me and him could talk more about that call and what he said and I saw it in his eyes and in his voice he's trying he's trying really hard right now it's not easy for him and I understand.
- what did he say to the therapist , and did U talk more with him ?
- he said that he regrets a lot of things he did and not just around me but around everyone he was bad with everyone not just me he wasn't nice with dean is bestfriend he wasn't honest with him he lied a lot , Vic he hurt her talking about when Ripley was almost dying and he made it sound like nobody cared about him and he talked like that about everyone but I don't remember everything and then he talked of U ...
- me ? What did he say
- he said that he felt bad for all the times he yelled at U and that he wasn't okay with U or with the team or when he lied for weeks because of his first PTSD and he also said he wish he could tell U how sorry he his that he judge us and that he almost kiss me.
- mhh mhh
- and then he asked me if we could talk more , but U know Robert I understand that he still have ptsd it was hard on him U know I'm the one that save him with maya and god it was hard , and that situation brought up all of those emotions into him and he didn't know he still got them until that and he's truly sorry and if U don't believe me take my phone open our text me and him go check my last voicemail and open my first drawer there a letter , read and hear it you'll see okay if U don't want to it's fine
- yeah I'll listen to it and I'll read both of them your text and the letter , I'm glad you told me about it , but did U talk more with him
- I did in fact earlier today when U went to get coffee we sat for an hours before our stressful call and he told me a lot of thing about how sorry he was and he his I can tell you that , I'm not ready to accept him yet but I'm gonna start to threat him like family .
